A few words from [livejournal.com profile] clauderainsrm:

Today has been a perfect storm situation as far as Idol goes. At least for those remaining in the competition. Because with every person who goes out, there is one less person standing between you and the ultimate prize!

Then again, given that this is a short season, that was bound to happen. It happens in the regular seasons, but by this time of year folks are usually holding on by their fingertips!

Mark one more off the list of folks you have to beat - due to “real life” (whatever that is) stuff, [livejournal.com profile] nyxocity is leaving us.

In addition, due to missing the deadline - we have a few folks who are leaving here and going to get one more shot in Second Chance Idol They are:

[livejournal.com profile] bookishgeek, [livejournal.com profile] mezzogiorno, [livejournal.com profile] sneakishfrog and [livejournal.com profile] yuniebaby

For the rest of you though, it’s time to get back down to business!

We have a poll, and a hell of a lot of fun entries!

We will be losing the bottom six to the ranks of SCI!

I strongly encourage everyone to get out there and read, comment and vote for their favorites!


The poll closes Monday, Feb 11th at 9pm EST

Good luck to everyone!

This poll looks very small. Now to start reading.

Still eliminating 6 after losing 7 already? o_O

Think of it this way, there are supposed to be only about 5 weeks left!

I probably missed any mention of something like a timeline, so all I know is Idol, where Gary can string these things along indefinitely. Which here translates to "maybe a little while". ;)

At the start, he had said something about "approximately two weeks", but after all, it's Idol and things change constantly :)

I can't type. Swore I had said two months, apparently fat-fingered the entire thing.

He said it would run about 2 months

What's crazy is last week it was 7 people, this week it's 6.... HMMMMM.

If you add the number of people who didn't get an entry in and the number he's eliminating, it's come to ten all three times.

heh, I noticed that again as soon as the poll posted. *high five*

Which, of course, means that if Gary thinks we've figured out his logic, he will change it! So let's make that a... *low-key five*

There were people talking about it last week, so I counted this week. ;)

Lol! We'll have to distract him with cookies....

They always do at the start of a season, and hell, mini-season madness....

I've started reading. Since it looks like the weather folks are predicting that it will start snowing here at 3am Friday (so, basically while I'm sleeping tonight) and it won't stop until 5pm Sunday... I think I won't have a whole lot else to do.

(Well, okay, fine. I've got all that mothering stuff to do. And Netflix to watch...)

Assuming we don't lose power.

Heh, they're telling everyone to be off the roads down here by 3PM tomorrow. The brunt of it is supposed to hit tomorrow night all the way into Saturday afternoon. EEP!

I was just going to say that same thing. At some point the Second Chancers will re-join us, maybe? I guess that depends on Gary's whims, though!

I had a nap today so I guess that means I can stay up late watching bad tv and reading entries :)

Also I will miss everyone leaving us but I was very much looking forward to reading more from [livejournal.com profile] yuniebaby

Thank you! Real life took me a bit by surprise this week. Planning on trying to get back in on second chance!

I almost missed the deadline as well this week. Real life is hard. Ie I understand ;)

As did I. My story didn't come to me until 5 pm CT, as I was driving home from work. I worked on it in my head and at stoplights until I got home, sat down and wrote for the 10 or so minutes I had available, and then took my laptop to a scout meeting with me and hid in a corner for the first 15 or 20 minutes while I finished, edited and posted!

*notice to my brain* You are not allowed to hold out on an idea until that late again. Thank you.

Yeah. I had a great idea but no time to do it!! Damn real life :)

Good luck everyone!

Nine actions, with one typographical error and two challenges. Results?

Say it with me folks... he was wrong and I was right on both.

God, I love my job.

Idol Time is maybe like football game time vs. real life time....which is like human years and dog years, etc.....I'm just going with the flow and writing as the prompts roll in. Happy weekend everybody and stay safe n warm if you're in the path of the super-blizzard! AW

Geez, I hate LJ's "self-timout" feature. Having this post open for days to do all the reading rendered my first poll submission "invalid". Gah. It's not as if the page moved, LJ!

*hugs* I usually just refresh periodically if I have it open a while.

I've gotten out of the habit, because the "Error" for failed comments happens SO often that I just paranoid copy every comment before posting. 50% of the time now, I have to repost. And that's for windows I've opened in the last 5 minutes, even. :(

More Facebook, less function. LJ saddens me. :(

Ouch. Mine works somewhat better than that, but I do get one of those errors pretty much every day or so.

I know, I don't even have a FB and the whole FB thing annoys me. I imagine it's much worse for the people who do.
